Ooze

Late at night when I let all my thoughts bombard me, this is what it feels like.

Everything around me went black, like an all consuming wave was
cresting over my head and swallowing me whole. I was falling into
its cavernous stomach, blind with fear, adrenaline, anticipation.
There was nothing to compare it to, I could only imagine it was
what being on fire while underwater was like. It felt like I was
falling for years, for so long that I eventually lost all the
feelings in my limbs. My fingers became foreign objects to me,
and I occasionally brought what I thought was my hand to what I
assumed was my head, to try and reassure myself that it was still
attached.

A vain attempt since I could not determine what was what or what
was where. The only thing I was completely aware of was my heart,
since I could hear its faint thumping like a drums song in the
distance. The rest was just roaring silence pounding my ear drums
and skull mercilessly. I desperately yearned for a sliver of
peace, just a moment so that I could reassemble myself.I vaguely
wondered if I would die here, if I was already dead, but it hurt
to try and reassemble my disjointed thoughts. They were all stuck
to one another, clinging to the false hope that they could
somehow make sense to me again.
